Im really interested in learning how to use voxel sniper & world painter to accomplish the same kind of mountain range, Do you build the maps in a single player world? or server side? Do the mountains contain ore's when mined into? What time frame are you looking at at creating a mountain scape like this?

Voxel and world painter are relatively simplistic programs to learn and use, we build these maps on a closed server with a development team. The mountains do contain deposits of ore although a few of the mountains we voxeled in do not contain ore as we're going to be building in them. It took about a week of development to do this. The most time-sink was the snowcone brush, those experienced voxelers out there will get it. xD

I'm sorry you feel that this is advertising but I am just a guy who has put his passion into minecraft with a team of people working alongside me and I thought we could get some critique on our mountain range, aswell as my very inexperienced rendering skills.

To be fair, just because it's indie doesn't mean it is more "deserving" of support.

Just out of blunt facts, you're saying here that indie = deserves support, and people who don't pay for indie games are "too cheap". Do you believe the same of all other games? The fact that you specified "indie games" tells me no, you do not, and someone pirating a bigger game from a larger company wouldn't elicit the same reaction.

But Minecraft is a multi-million dollar seller. Pirating minecraft is no more harmful to Mojang than pirating Pokemon is to Nintendo. The fact that they're an indie company doesn't make it more harmful, and it doesn't make the act "worse".

I think it rings particularly hollow when it comes to indie games like minecraft because we criticize companies like EA and Ubisoft for egregious DRM, churning out overpriced, unoriginal crap, and charging money for DLC that should be in the game to start with and then turn around and try to justify stealing a game from a company that does none of those things. I mean Minecraft was 15 bucks if you got it back in beta, and was the vision of one guy who would not be successful at all unless the community supported him. To me, it just feels like a lazy and shitty thing to do to try to steal a game like that.

indeed, after 1.8 (adventure update) i always thought most minecraft generated maps was boring as hell... flat planes with trees, or flat deserts with sand or maybe a little mountain-ish place, that pretty much looks like crap...

But I do mean specifically the mountains. I want the mountains to be steep like that, a challenge to climb, in a mountain range instead of just a random placing. And mountains shouldn't have giant chunks missing from the sides. There's just so much room for improvement

There's a whole application process and stuff, it's an rp server so you have to make a biography for the character you're going to play as and shit, apparently my biography wasn't good enough do I didn't get in :( looks awesome if you're able to get in though.
